It is said that trekking originated in India in Darjeeling as far as eighty
years ago. Trekking means foot travel on the mountain trails. It is an
experience that can never be paralleled. Darjeeling has one of the most
spectacular treks to offer along with the beauty of the hills. The charms
of the Himalaya along with its mysteries gradually unfold as trekkers
traverse through the dense forests and verdant landscape, through miles of
green-carpeted meadows and sleepy hamlets lost in time. The Sandakphu
-Singalila trek as it is popularly called will enable you to discover the
Sublime Himalayan interiors unmarred by mankind.
